New York – (dpa) – The famous video game Fortnite is preparing for the long-awaited return to the iPhone and iPad smartphone devices produced by the American electronics giant Apple, following their disappearance from these devices as a result of their deletion from the App Store, claiming that the exporting company violated The game for Apple rules.
Apple removed Fortnite from its online store in August 2020 following its developer Epic Games tried to evade the fees that Apple receives for downloading the game from the App Store.
But thanks to an alternative solution, a new version of the game Fortnite will be released this week, compatible with the iOS operating system for Apple devices, where the game can be played using touch-screen controls, through the direct play service GeForce Now.
At the same time, playing the game on Apple devices will be available to a limited number of users initially as a trial period.

Apple told Epic that Fortnite will be blacklisted on the App Store system until all degrees of litigation are exhausted, a process that might take up to five years.
It is noteworthy that last August, APIC filed a lawsuit once morest Apple following the latter’s decision to delete the game Fortnite from the App Store, claiming that APIC defrauded the App Store system, which ensures that Apple receives a commission in exchange for the revenue that APIC earns from the game Fortnite.
